Installation of the Model M Ludlow 



The Model M Ludlow machine should be placed at the front 
and center of a space approximately 5' x 7. This will allow 
ample room for the machine and the water cooler as well as 
working space at the sides and at the back of the machine for 
cleaning, oiling and adjusting. The operator works in front 
of the machine, where additional space must be allowed for 
efficient operation. 

Electrical Connections 

For electric-heated machines, the power wires are con- 
nected to the control panel located on the back of the machine. 
A No. 10 gauge main power supply wire is recommended. 

Gas Connections 

For gas-heated machines, a x /2 inch pipe is used. This 
should be connected to a supply line of sufficient capacity to 
prevent pressure fluctuations. 

Proper Seating and Leveling of the Model M Ludlow 

The Ludlow should be placed on a metal plate, preferably 
on the Ludlow Metal Floor Pan, part No. 27, which is supplied 
as an accessory. In placing the Ludlow in position it is very 
important that the legs are "even" and do not create a twist 
in the frame, which could cause a bind in the main slide as 
well as lock-up problems. 



To properly seat the Model M Ludlow machine: 

1. Lift table top to full open position. 

2. Apply pressure on a corner of the table and note which 
leg is not seating firmly on the floor pan. 

3. Insert metal shims under one foot opposite the motor 
side of the machine until the weight is evenly distributed 
on all four feet. 

An alternate method of seating the machine is: 

1. Raise the left leg of the machine V 8 inch off the floor by 
means of a jack or block and wedge placed under the 
cross member of the left leg. 

2. Place a piece of paper beneath each foot of the left leg. 

3. Lower the machine until one of the papers is lightly 
gripped by one foot. Then place shims of leads or slugs 
under the opposite foot. Do not force shimming material 
in place. 

4. Remove the jack or block and wedge. 

To properly level the machine from front to back: 

1. Return table top to normal position and place a spirit 
level on the table top from front to back. 

2. An equal amount of metal shims should be placed under 
each of either the front or rear feet of the machine until 
the table top is approximately level from front to back. 



3 









The back of the machine must not be lower than the 
front. It may be % inch higher. 

Assembly 

For safety in shipping, certain parts are packed separately 
and these should be installed on the machine as follows: 

1. Place crucible in position, insert hinge pins through 
swivel bracket and tighten set screws. 

2. Install Plunger Connecting Rod, part No. 271-EA. 
Note: When shipped from the factory, the plunger is 
"frozen" in proper position in relation to the porthole 
in the well. When properly installed the plunger con- 
necting rod will be in position so that the Plunger 
Connecting Yoke Pins, Nos. 275 and 280, can be 
inserted in place without forcing. Tighten lock nut at 
the bottom of the plunger connecting rod. 

3. Attach control panel to bracket on back of machine and 
make necessary electrical connections according to 
wiring diagram. 

4. Place the water cooler on the floor at the rear of the 
machine. Connect the water tubes to the cooler. Attach 
the tubes to the frame of the machine as shown in the 
diagram. Connect electric wires to the power connec- 
tions at the motor so that when the motor of the 
machine is "on" the cooler will be in operation. 

5. Install Mold. Be careful to thoroughly clean mold seat 
and bottom of mold before fastening in position. 
Tighten mold screws firmly in position. 

6. Fill water cooler at top with approximately two gallons 
of water. (Distilled water is preferred.) Add between 
one and two ounces of soluble oil. Bleed air from 



system as per tag on water cooler. Connect water tubes 
to mold. 

7. Other parts which were removed from the machine to 
save shipping space, such as the Galley Base, A-906-B, 
the Locking Lever Handle, No. 547, the Delivery Slide 
Guard, etc. should then be attached to the machine. 

8. Fill the crucible with type metal, molten if possible, to 
completely cover heating units. 

9. Except in the case of some export shipments, the motor 
is mounted in place with motor lead wires connected. 
The motor pulley should be placed on the shaft and 
lined up with large pulley. The set screw in the pulley 
should bear against the flat surface of the motor shaft 
and should be firmly tightened. The motor position can 
be adjusted from front to back of machine to insure 
proper tension on the belt. The motor armature must 
rotate in a counter-clockwise direction when facing the 
motor pulley. 

10. While the crucible is heating out, turn large pulley by 
hand until machine is in casting position. Check the 
following adjustments: 

Main slide height adjustment 
Table latch adjustment 
Stick locking mechanism adjustment 
Mouthpiece to mold adjustment 
Crucible adjustment 
Crucible swivel adjustment 
Crucible compression adjustment 
Centering of the mouthpiece opening with the mold 
Instructions for checking adjustments referred to above 
are shown in the "Adjustments" section of this manual.

Maintenance 









It will be apparent to even the most casual observer that the 
Ludlow Typograph machine is of rigid construction, has 
relatively few moving parts, and that the few simple adjust- 
ments that may be necessary to maintain its satisfactory 
operation are easily made. 

Oiling 

The Ludlow Typograph machine should be thoroughly 
oiled twice each week, excepting the motor. New motors are 
oiled and inspected at the factory and, for normal service, 
should not need additional oil during the first year. Add 40 
to 70 drops of a good light oil (SAE-20) or medium 
(SAE-30) mineral lubricating oil at the end of six months 
use, if used on a double shift, or at the end of one year if 
used on a single shift, or after 1,000 hours of service. Over- 
oiling is as undesirable as under-oiling. 

The operator should make a practice of oiling the machine 
systematically, starting from the same place each time. By 
going through the same routine, only a few minutes will be 
required to lubricate the machine thoroughly. 

The oiler in the rear of the Crucible Cam Lever, 224ED, 
should be filled each day with Ludlow Lubriclean Fluid, 
A945A. Use Lubriclean for all moving parts on the crucible 
which are subjected to heat, as this is a special preparation 



which will remain on the heated parts for a longer period of 
time than will ordinary lubricants. 

The Felt Mouthpiece Wiper, 805D, is treated with a special 
lubricant and should not require any additional oiling. 

Ordinary oil is not recommended for the felt wiper, as it 
will carbonize and fill the mouthpiece air vents and obstruct 
the opening of the mouthpiece with a deposit which is 
difficult to remove. 

Maintenance Schedule 

Every day: Oil crucible Cam juever, 224ED. Add oil in 
oilers and oil holes. Oil cams and cam rolls 
with "squirt" can. 

Twice a week: Clean plunger and well. 

Once a week: Clean entire machine. 

Twice a month: Remove mouthpiece and clean mouth- 
piece and throat. 

Cleaning the Plunger and Well 

Free movement of the plunger in the well is dependent 
upon the thorough cleaning of these parts at least twice each 
week or oftener. A Plunger and Well Cleaning Kit, A951, 
is available for this purpose. 

When cleaning the plunger and well, cover the mouthpiece 









I 



with the Mouthpiece Opening Shield, A504, to prevent the 
hot metal from splashing out of the mouthpiece when the 
plunger or well cleaning tool is being inserted into the well. 
To clean the plunger, remove it from the crucible, using 
the combination Holder for the Plunger and Crucible Well 
Cleaner, A992A. While the plunger is still hot, wipe off the 
metal and loose deposits adhering to the outer surface and 
apply a light application of Lubriclean Fluid with the asbestos 
swab. Allow the fluid to remain on the plunger approxi- 
mately two to three minutes before brushing off with a wire 
brush and wiping clean with a cloth. If a hard deposit in the 
form of a ring is noticed on the upper area of the plunger, 
it can best be removed with a strip of fine emery cloth. 

Immediately after removing the plunger from the crucible 
for cleaning, place the Crucible Well Cleaner, A992y 2 A, in 
the molten metal of the crucible (not in the well) , to allow 
the tool to preheat to the temperature of the type metal, so it 
will be ready for immediate use when the plunger has been 
cleaned. 

To clean the well, skim dross from surface of metal, 
assemble the preheated well cleaning tool to the holder, 
A992A. Drop 8 or 10 drops of Lubriclean Fluid in a pool on 
top of the metal immediately over the well and insert the 
cleaning tool in the well and work it in an oscillating and 
up-and-down motion. The oil on the surface of the metal will 
transfer to the cleaning tool and keep it lubricated. Remove 
the cleaning tool frequently to wipe off the dross, continuing 
this operation until the well is cleaned. If the well has not 
been cleaned regularly, it may be necessary to apply the fluid 
to the top of the metal two or three times during the cleaning 
operation. 

Before replacing the plunger in the well, skim the dross and 
Lubriclean residue from the surface of the type metal. Apply 
a thin coating of Lubriclean to the plunger, and see that it 
floats freely in the well before assembling it to the plunger 
lever. 



Care should be taken not to drop or bump the plunger or 
the well cleaning tool against a hard object, as this may mar 
or upset the surface of these parts, with resultant damage 
to the well. 

If the well cleaning tool becomes ineffective, the four seg- 
ments can be expanded slightly by careful use of a screw 
driver or like tool to spring the segments farther apart. 

Special patented preparations and tallow should be avoided 
as a lubricant or cleaner for plunger and well. 

Failure to keep the plunger and well clean will invariably 
result in an unsatisfactory printing face and porous slugs. 

Care of Mouthpiece 

The grayish-black deposit which accumulates on the vented 
surface and in the slot of the mouthpiece can easily be 
removed when hot by the use of Ludlow Lubriclean Fluid. 
The fluid is applied on the vented surface and in the slot of 
the mouthpiece and allowed to remain for two to three 
minutes, when the slot may be scraped clean with the Mouth- 
piece Slot Scraper, A939B. The three holes in the mouthpiece 
may be cleaned with a piece of wire % 6 mcn m diameter. If 
necessary, the surface may be carefully brushed clean with a 
wire brush before removing mouthpiece for a thorough 
cleaning of the throat. 

It is advisable to remove the mouthpiece from the crucible 
at least twice a month to clean the lower part of the mouth- 
piece and to scrape the side walls of the crucible throat. When 
cleaning the crucible throat, reduce the metal level by bailing 
until the top of the well is exposed. To prevent molten metal 
from entering the screw holes, it is best to replace the mouth- 
piece screws before scraping the throat of the crucible. With 
the crucible prepared as above, the Crucible Throat Scraper, 
A939y 2 B, should be used to scrape the walls of the throat. 
After scraping, remove all loose dross from the throat 
before reassembling the mouthpiece to the crucible. When 
assembling the mouthpiece to the crucible, the screws should

be treated with graphite, to insure their easy removal. No 
graphite should be put into the screw holes. After the mouth- 
piece has been assembled to the crucible, cast several blank 
slugs to thoroughly clean the throat before casting typeface 
slugs. 

Metal Level in the Crucible 

Always try to keep metal level approximately % inch to 
y 2 inch below the top at the front of the crucible. If the metal 
level is permitted to drop below the top of the heating 
elements, these elements, when heated, can be damaged by 
their exposure to the air. A low level will also have consid- 
erable effect on the solidity of the slug. The metal level may 
be accurately regulated by the use of an automatic metal 
feeder. 

Care of the Metal 

To secure best results, high quality metal should be used in 
the Ludlow, as in any line-casting machine. Metal which 
contains improper proportions of lead, tin and antimony, or 
which is contaminated with copper, zinc, or other foreign 
substance, will cause considerable trouble. An indication of 
this trouble will appear in a poor printing face on the slug. 
In some cases these impurities will form obstructions in the 
throat and mouthpiece and make it impossible to obtain a 
satisfactory slug. Any of the leading metal companies will 
gladly furnish an analysis of the metal from a sample and 
will advise you of its condition. About a pound of metal will 
be necessary for proper analysis and this sample may be 
obtained by casting blank slugs. 

It is not intended that any metal other than either standard 
Ludlow or standard Linotype metal be used in the Ludlow 
crucible. Standard Ludlow metal contains 6% tin, 11%% 
antimony, and the balance lead. Standard Linotype metal 
contains 4% tin, 11%% antimony, and the balance lead. 
Trouble may be expected when the tin drops below 3%%, 



or when the antimony drops below 11%% or goes over 12%. 
Type metal should not contain copper or zinc, and only a 
trace of arsenic. 

Metal Temperature 

For standard Linotype metal the temperature of the metal 
in the crucible under normal conditions should be 565° F. 
For standard Ludlow metal the crucible temperature may be 
increased from 5° to 10°. The temperature at the mouthpiece 
under normal conditions will be 530° with a 6-pt. mold and 
500° with a 12-pt. mold. It is important to note that these 
temperatures are approximate and of necessity must vary 
depending upon the condition of the metal and other local 
conditions including line voltage, etc. The temperature must 
be adjusted to obtain best results in each individual case. 

Machine Must Be Kept Clean 

The greatest cause of trouble results from failure of the 
operator to keep his machine clean. As with all hot metal 
machines, satisfactory operation depends upon perfect con- 
tact between matrices, mold and mouthpiece. If particles of 
metal or other foreign material adhere to the mold, the 
mouthpiece or the matrices, this perfect contact will not be 
maintained; or if particles of metal, such as trimmings, etc., 
become lodged in the cams, trouble will inevitably result. 

The foreman in charge of a Ludlow Typograph machine 
will find that if some one person is made responsible for the 
maintenance of the machine and is allotted a certain time 
each day for this work, his effort will be repaid many times by 
increased production and freedom from repairs and replace- 
ments. 

The operator should be provided with a stiff bristle brush 
to remove the particles of metal from the working parts, such 
as the cams, slides, etc. This should be done frequently. At 
least once each week the operator should clean the entire 
machine and remove all accumulations of dust and metal 
trimmings. 









Care of Matrices and Spaces 

Ludlow matrices and spaces should be handled carefully at 
all times. Rough handling will shorten the life of matrices and 
spaces and cause the slugs to stick to the matrices in the cast- 
ing operation, due to burrs on the face notch of the matrices. 
Improper gathering, the "clicking" or "snapping" of matrices 
on the sides of the stick or against each other, rough handling 



of the matrices and stick on the table top will shorten the life 
of the matrices and spaces and cause difficulty. When tighten- 
ing the matrices in position before casting, the knob on the 
stick should be tightened only tightly enough to hold the 
matrices in position but not so tightly that the mold and 
equalizing bar cannot equalize the height of the matrices 
before the slug is cast.

Adjustments 



Before the machine leaves the factory, all of its parts have 
been tested and properly adjusted. However, after the machine 
has been in use for some time, it may become necessary to 
readjust some parts. The following instructions should be 
closely and carefully followed: 

Safety Mechanisms 

Before making any adjustments, unlatch and raise the 
table with the hand lever on the left side of the machine. See 
that the Safety Finger, 753A, is over the end of the Plunger 
Cam Lever, A258. When the safety finger is in this position 
the plunger will not operate should the machine be turned on. 

The Locking Slide Safety Pawl Bumper, 540C, is so 
designed that if the end quad on the stick or the division quad 
does not strike the bumper, the stick cannot be locked in 
place. The operator should see that this bumper does not 
become clogged with dirt or metal that might interfere with 
its operation. 

The Locking Slide Safety Pawl, 579B, is so arranged that 
the stick of matrices must be pushed against the stick stop 
before the stick can be locked in place to make a cast. This 
pawl should also be kept clean and free from dirt or metal 
that might interfere with its operation. 

The Safety Operating Lever, 739B, is connected to the 



locking-down mechanism and operates the Safety Finger, 
permitting a cast to be made only when the stick is properly 
locked in position. This is an important safety feature, and 
care should be taken to see that these parts and parts con- 
nected to them, such as 732 A, and parts 737B and 735 A, 
and all of their attendant mechanisms are in perfect oper- 
ating order. Particular attention should be given to Spring, 
755, which is located on the under side of the table top, and 
to Spring, 750y 2 , (inside of tube) , attached to the lower part 
of the mechanism just inside the frame in front of the crucible. 
These springs keep the safety mechanism in the non-casting 
position, and the machine should never be allowed to operate 
without them. Always observe the condition of these springs 
before making any other adjustments or repairs. 

Safety Key 

The Safety Key, 155B, which connects the Driving Clutch 
Gear, 154A, with the Driving Clutch Shaft, 163B, is of such 
construction that any obstruction to the free turning of the 
machine will shear the safety key, thus safeguarding against 
breaking expensive parts of the machine. When this key 
shears off, replace it with a new one and "back up" the 
machine in order to locate and correct the cause of the shear- 
ing. Quite frequently this shearing will result from insufficient 






lubrication, dirt or metal trimmings accumulating in the 
cams, or by trimmings wedging in between the bottom trim 
knife slide and the main slide casting. It may also be caused 
by metal splashing out between the mouthpiece and mold, 
due probably to improper lock-up or by the failure of the 
mouthpiece wiper to clean off the mouthpiece properly. After 
the obstruction is located and removed, operate the machine 
carefully by hand to be sure that the cause of shearing the 
safety key has been corrected. 

Main Slide Height Adjustment 

To test the height of the Main Slide, 600, to which the 
mold is attached, first remove the right Safety Lever Screw, 
730y 2 , and disconnect Safety Connecting Rod, 747B, then 
remove Table Latch Operating Stud, 77, and then raise the 
main slide to the highest point of its travel, but do not have 
the mouthpiece in contact with the mold. Place a blank slug 
on top of the mold without being locked down, and see that 
the sides of the blank slug block are two points above the 
surface of the table top. Any adjustment of this height is 
made as follows: 

Raise the table top, revolve the belt pulley by hand until 
the main slide has reached the highest point of its travel, but 
do not have the mouthpiece in contact with the mold. Loosen 
the Main Slide Adjusting Plate, 612 A, located directly under 
the right hand side of the main slide, by means of Screw, 
613A, using Wrench, A623 1 / 4, furnished with the machine. 
Using two %c> inch x 4 inch drill rods for wrenches, loosen 
the two Check Nuts, 615 and 616V2, and turn Adjusting 
Screw, 614, to either raise or lower the main slide. After the 
proper adjustment is made, carefully tighten the two check 
nuts and Adjusting Plate Screw, 613 A. 

Reassemble Safety Mechanism parts. 

Stick Locking Mechanism Adjustment 

First, recheck back table latch adjustment. Second, fasten 
two lock-down knobs on the table top to hold it firmly to 



10 



main frame. Remove the Safety Connecting Rod, 747B. Then 
operate the machine by hand until the mouthpiece is in 
approximate casting position under the mold, but is still 
14 i ncn away from the mold. Lock the blank slug block in 
position. Loosen Clamp Screw, 18, which is on the side of the 
Locking Equalizing Bar Clamp, 588A. Back out Adjusting 
Screw, 563A, until the rollers are free of the locking equaliz- 
ing bar. Remove Locking Equalizing Lever Adjusting Screw 
Cap, S^ 1 ^ and loosen the Check Nut, 230, on the Locking 
Equalizing Screw, 593, and back the adjusting screw until 
the Locking Equalizing Bar, A590C, is free of the blank slug 
block. Then turn this screw, at the same time tapping the top 
of the equalizing bar with the finger until the equalizing bar 
makes full contact with the top of the blank slug block. 
Adjust rollers to bearing contact on the equalizing bar. 
Tighten all clamp screws after these adjustments have been 
made. 

Stick Stop Adjustment 

The stick stop should be so adjusted that when a line is 
cast the head of the slug is exactly even with the shank of the 
slug on the end farthest from the operator. This adjustment 
may be made by loosening the small Set Screw, 713A, in the 
top of the stick stop slide and turning the Adjusting Screw, 
714, in or out until the proper alignment is obtained, after 
which tighten the set screw. Check this adjustment by casting 
another line, using the same stick. 

Locking Slide Adjustment 

When a stick of matrices is placed in the machine and 
locked in position, it is pushed against the Locking Guide, 
M575B, by the Locking Slide Shoe, 567, and the spring 
tension of the two Locking Slide Shoe Springs, 568. These 
springs sometimes become weakened after long usage and 
require replacement. If the head of the slug is not parallel to 
the shank, it may be that these springs do not have sufficient 
tension to hold the stick of matrices firmly against the lock-

ing guide at the time the cast is made f or that the locking 
guide itself is out of alignment. 

The locking guide is adjustable so that the proper align- 
ment of stick may be maintained at all times. To make this 
adjustment, the Locking Guide Screws, 576A, should be 
loosened, which will permit the turning of the Locking 
Adjusting Screws, 582B. Very little movement of these screws 
will be necessary to obtain the proper adjustment. Tighten 
the Screws, 576A, while the stick is locked in position. 

If the locking guide has been put out of adjustment to the 
extent that the Locking Slide Safety Pawl Bumper, 540C, 
does not operate properly, it will then be necessary to realign 
the guide from the mold slot. To do this, disconnect the 
Safety Connecting Rod, 747B. Remove Locking Equalizing 
Bar, A590C. Loosen the locking guide. Then raise the Main 
Slide, 600, to the highest point of its travel. Place a blank 
slug halfway into the mold slot. The distance between the 
blank slug and the locking guide should be 5% P^as (.954") 
when using a 12-pt. mold, and 6 picas (.996") when using a 
6-pt. mold. 

Mouthpiece to Mold Adjustment 

Revolve the belt pulley by hand until the mouthpiece is 
ready to come into contact with the mold. Slip a piece of 
paper between the mouthpiece and the mold and operate the 
machine by hand until the mouthpiece is locked up against 
the under side of the mold; then back up the machine a little 
until the paper may be removed. The impression on the paper 
will show whether the mouthpiece is resting solidly and evenly 
against the mold. 

There are two ways in which the mouthpiece may be out 
of adjustment with relation to its proper seating against the 
under side of the mold. First, the crucible may be tilted side- 
wise in such a way that the mouthpiece bears against the mold 
only along one side, and this condition is referred to in this 
section. Second, the mouthpiece may bear against the mold 



more on one end than on the other, the correction for which 
is explained under "Crucible Adjustment." 

At the rear of the machine and located directly under the 
crucible, is the Crucible Swivel Bracket, 234B, fastened to the 
frame by two Screws, 236. Make sure the mouthpiece is not 
touching the bottom of the mold, loosen only one of these 
screws slightly and then loosen the Check Nut, 59, and turn 
the Adjusting Screw, 237, which will tilt the crucible in the 
desired direction. Very little movement of the screw is neces- 
sary — perhaps not over one-eighth turn. Make the test with 
the paper again to be certain that the adjustment is correct. 
The paper should show an even impression of both sides of the 
mouthpiece seat. Then tighten Screw, 236, and the Check 
Nut, 59. 

After tightening the screw and nut, test the lock-up again. 
It may be necessary to adjust the opposite side of the crucible 
swivel bracket. 

Crucible Adjustment 

Check stick locking mechanism and rear table latch to be 
sure they are properly adjusted. 

In the upper right-hand corner of the illustration are two 
kinds of incorrect seating relations between mouthpiece and 
mold. These may be corrected by either lowering or raising 
the Crucible Swivel Bracket, 234-B, as follows: 

Note: Do not loosen both screws 236 at same time. 
To remedy "A" condition 

Make sure the mouthpiece is not touching the bottom of 
mold when making the following adjustments. 

Loosen screw 236 (left side only facing rear of machine) 
enough so screw bears slightly on Bracket, 234-B. Loosen 
Check Nut, 59, and turn screw 237 slightly to the left. Tighten 
screw 236 and nut 59. 

It may be necessary to repeat above on right-hand side 
until proper seating is accomplished. 
To remedy "B" condition 

11 






L 






Same as above except work first on right side facing rear 
of machine and turn screw 237 to the right. 

Very little movement of these screws will be necessary to 
correct the seating relations of these parts. To determine just 
when the mold and mouthpiece are in proper relation, insert 
a strip of tissue paper between the under side of the mold and 
the mouthpiece and move crucible to the casting position. The 
mouthpiece should leave an even impression on the paper, 
indicating that the mouthpiece is pressing against the mold 
equally on both ends. Check the Compression Bolt, 213-B, to 
see that the Castellated Nut, 214-A, is raised % 2 inch above 
its seat when in casting position as indicated at "C". Adjust 
if necessary. Cast a few slugs, preferably 12-pt., using the 
blank slug block. If the mouthpiece and mold are properly 
adjusted, the mouthpiece vent marks will show up clearly 
along bottom of the slug over its entire length. If the mouth- 
piece and mold are not in proper relation, the vent marks 
will be only partly visible and the bottom of slug will be 
shiny, either wholly or in part. While casting test slugs, the 
mouthpiece should be wiped off carefully between each cast. 
If one end of the slug bottom is consistently shiny, it indicates 
that the corresponding end of the mouthpiece should be raised 
slightly. 

Great care must be taken in making this adjustment. It will 
probably never be necessary to move adjusting screws 237 
over one half turn. 

Refer to illustration of Crucible Operation Mechanism. See 
that both Crucible Swivel Bracket Screws, 236, and Check 
Nuts, 59, are tight. 

When adjustments are performed properly, there will be a 
slight gap between screws 237 and the bracket. The point of 
the screw will be seated against bracket on left side, and the 
head of the screw on right side. After these adjustments have 
been taken care of satisfactorily, turn two Adjusting Screws, 
123iy 2 , of Swivel Bracket Lock, 234y 2 , so that they bear 



12 



against 234-B bracket. Then tighten lock screws 625V2 of the 
adjusting screws. 

Crucible Swivel 

The Crucible Swivel Nut, 232, should be just tight enough 
to resist any tendency of the crucible to rock, yet not so tight 
that it offers resistance to the turning of the Crucible Swivel, 
231B. To adjust this nut, with crucible at rest position, 
remove the Crucible Swivel Nut Pin, 233, and turn this nut, 
using a metal rod, to the right to tighten, or to the left to 
loosen, after which replace Pin 233 in one of the two holes 
in Swivel, 231B, which is nearest in alignment with hole in 
Nut, 232. 

Crucible Compression Adjustment 

To maintain the proper lock-up between the mouthpiece 
and the under side of the mold, the following adjustments 
must be carefully checked : 

With the table top raised, operate the machine by hand 
until the mouthpiece is pressing firmly against the under side 
of the mold, which is in its highest position. At this point the 
Castellated Nut, 214A, should be in such position that it is 
raised Y S2 inch above its seat, as shown at "C". This insures 
the proper pressure of the mouthpiece against the under side 
of the mold. This adjustment may be changed by removing 
the Cotter Pin, 219, and turning the Castellated Nut, 214A, 
up or down until the proper location is reached, after which 
replace the corner pin. 

Centering Mouthpiece Opening With Mold 

With the table top raised, operate the machine by hand 
until the mouthpiece has swung into position under, and is in 
compression with the mold. At this point the mouthpiece 
orifice should be exactly centered in the mold opening, and 
if not in the center, adjustment may be made as follows: 

Swing up the Crucible Adjusting Bolt Guard, A215A, and 
loosen the two Clamp Screws, 250, and the two Check Nuts,

230. Then unscrew one Adjusting Screw, 229^, and screw in 
the other adjusting screw to give the desired location. For 
instance, if it is necessary to move the crucible to the left, 
unscrew the left-hand screw, screw in the right-hand screw 
the desired amount, after which tighten the left-hand screw 
until it bears against the Crucible Cam Lever, 224D. Then 
tighten the Check Nuts, 230, and the Screws, 250, and lower 
the Guard, A215A. 

Plunger Height Adjustment 

The plunger should be so adjusted that its bottom edge is 
Y 1Q inch above the lower edge of the port in the well. This 
adjustment may be checked by removing the Cotter Pin, 68, 
and Pin, 275. This will permit the plunger to float in the well. 
A piece of wire Yiq inch in diameter should be bent into an 
"L" shape, so that one end may be inserted through the 
molten metal into the porthole of the well of the crucible. 
After the wire has been inserted through the porthole, the 
plunger should be pressed down upon the wire. With the 
plunger in this position, the hole in the Plunger Connecting 
Lever, 274A, should line up with the hole in the Connecting 
Rod, 271A. If these holes are not in alignment, loosen Check 
Nut, 59, at the bottom of the Connecting Rod, 271A, and turn 
the connecting rod up or down as required. After adjustment 
is completed, tighten Check Nut, 59, and replace all parts. 
Any variation from the correct setting of the plunger will 
result in hollow slugs, unsatisfactory face, or both. 

Plunger Spring Adjustment 

At the time of installation the plunger spring pressure 
should be rechecked. Using the largest point size matrices in 
the users plant with the plunger hand lever in the bottom 
position, adjust the tension of the plunger springs so there is 
a slight sign of oversize on the under side of the T-head of the 
slug. Then release the plunger springs until the "bulge" dis- 
appears. Care should be taken that each plunged spring is 



rotated an equal amount when this adjustment is made. Be- 
cause the "lifting action" of the molten metal between the 
mold and matrices is greater on the larger point sizes, it is 
possible to use additional plunger spring pressure with the 
smaller point size typeface matrices as well as with ruleform 
matrices. 

Table Latch Adjustment 

The adjustment of the Table Latch, 86B, by means of which 
the table top is locked to the frame of the machine during the 
casting operation, should be made when the machine is in 
its idle position. 

The Spring, 755, attached to that part of the table latch 
which is under the table top, should be removed and the table 
top should be lowered and locked down with the front Table 
Catches, A93A and 97. That part of the adjustable lock which 
projects through the top of the table may then be grasped and 
moved back and forth. If it moves very freely, the pawl should 
be raised, after loosening screws, and the notched eccentric 
bushing moved to the left by turning the knob one notch at a 
time until the latch binds slightly when it is moved back and 
forth. The pawl should then be dropped into position and the 
screw which holds it in place tightened and the spring under- 
neath the table replaced. If it is not possible to get the proper 
adjustment through the turning of the eccentric bushing, 
further adjustment may be made by raising or lowering that 
part of the Latch, 91B, which is attached to the main frame. 
To make this adjustment, the check nut should be loosened, 
which will allow the screw to be turned, thus raising or lower- 
ing Latch, 91B. The check nut should then be locked and the 
final close adjustment made with the eccentric bushing, as 
stated above. 

During the casting part of the cycle, the automatic lock is 
in operation, locking the table down to the main frame of the 
machine. This latch is actuated by a Screw Stud, 77, which is 
fastened to the main slide by a bracket held in place with two 

13 












screws. When the slide rises, this stud striking the diagonal 
side of the latch pushes it into position underneath the pin in 
the Latch, 91B. This stud is purposely made so that it will 
break in case there is some obstruction to the operation of the 
latch, protecting the more delicate parts of the locking 
mechanism. In the event the stud breaks off, the cause should 
be located and corrected and the stud replaced. Operate 
machine slowly by hand to see if the latch functions properly 
before turning on the motor. 

When Machine Stalls in Casting Position 

In the event the machine should stall due to a hot metal 
flash just as the cast is being made, or has just been made, it 
will be necessary to raise the Table, No. 48, to investigate and 
correct the trouble, but before attempting to raise the table, 
the following procedure is imperative: 

1. "Throw" the motor switch to the "off" position. 

2. Remove Plunger Connecting Lever Pin, 275. 

3. Remove the Safety Lever Screw, 730V2, which connects 
the Safety Connecting Rod, 747B. These parts are 
located on top of the table. 

4. This should permit the plunger cam lever to be de- 
presed enough so that the Safety Finger, 753A, may 
be positioned over the top of the projecting end of the 
plunger cam lever. It is most important that the safety 
finger be positioned over the cam lever before any 
attempt is made to raise the table. 

5. Release the Rear Table Latch, 86B, by removing the 
threaded Table Latch Yoke Pin, 83A. The removal of 
this threaded pin is accomplished by inserting a long 
screw driver through the V2 inch hole located on the 
rear side of the table near the center, and unscrewing 
the threaded pin, thereby releasing Table Latch, 86B. 

6. Release the front Table Catches, A93A and 97. The 
table may now be raised for observation of the location 
of the metal flashings. 

14 



7. Remove all metal flashings from the movable parts as 
well as the interior of the machine generally. 

8. Add new Safety Key, 155B. 

9. Replace Plunger Connecting Lever Pin, 275. 

10. Reassemble all parts which have been removed. 

11. Operate the machine manually until the cam shaft 
returns to the neutral or idling position. 

Ejector Blade 

If the Ejector Blade, A639A, is removed for any reason, 
clean the shoulder upon which its rests very thoroughly 
before it is replaced, as any dirt or metal on this shoulder 
will tip the ejector and cause a drag on the ribs of the slug. 
The top surface of the ejector must be parallel with the mold. 

Delivery Slide 

To adjust the Slug Holders, A663H and A664H, remove 
the slide from the machine by removing the Mouthpiece 
Wiper Bracket, A806K, which also retains the left side of the 
slide, and the Slug Carrier Operating Rack, A695A, which 
retains the right side of the slide. Turn the slide bottom side 
up, first making sure the Slug Holder Operating Plates, 645B, 
are not bent, then take two pieces of straight metal, such as 
12-pt. slugs, and hold them firmly against the sides of the 
delivery slide casting so that they depress the Slug Holder 
Cams, A646A and A646 1 /2A. The slug holders should then be 
in a vertical position. If they are not in this position, loosen 
the Set Screws, 573, and turn the Adjusting Screws, 636*4, 
until the proper adjustment is obtained, after which tighten 
the Set Screws, 573. 

Adjust the two Screws, 669, in the Slug Holder Bearing 
Plate, 671 G, so that the distance between slug holders, when 
closed, is approximately 13 points. Also, the two shoulders 
on the slug holders, on which the slug rests, should be of the 
same height and on the center line of the opening in the 
delivery slide. Place the slide back in the machine. Replace 
parts A806K and A695A.

Metal Mold Wiper 

After the machine has been in service for some time, the 
lower edge of the Metal Mold Wiper, 676D, may become 
rounded off to such an extent that the mold will not be wiped 
clean. To replace mold wiper, turn it one-quarter turn and 
remove it from under the head of the stud. Place new wiper 
under the head of the stud and turn until wiper snaps into 
place. 

To adjust the Mold Wiper Arm, A678%B, operate the 
machine by hand until the mold has reached the highest point 
of its travel, at which point it should be possible to raise the 
mold wiper arm about two points. If this adjustment is not 
correct, loosen Check Nut, 230, located under mold wiper 
arm near its fulcrum, after which Adjusting Screw, 701, may 
be turned until the proper adjustment is obtained. Then 
tighten nut. 

To adjust the mold wiper arm rest, operate the machine by 
hand until the delivery slide has reached the farthest point of 
its travel toward the rear of the machine and has started back 
to the front of the machine for a distance of 1 or 2 inches. 

Loosen Check Nut, 230. Place a short piece of 2-pt. lead 
between Adjusting Screw, 696y 2 , and Mold Wiper Arm, 
A678%B, and adjust the screw so it just bears against the 
2-pt. lead. Then tighten the Check Nut, 230. 

To adjust the Mold Wiper Arm Cam, 691% A, proceed as 
follows : 

Operate the machine by hand until the delivery slide has 
reached the farthest point of its travel toward the rear of the 
machine, at which point Cam, 691%A, should have just been 
tripped by contact of the Screw, 980A, against the lug on the 
Mouthpiece Wiper Bracket, A806K. Any necessary adjust- 
ment may be made by loosening Nut, 325, and turning 
Adjustment Screw, 980A, until the proper adjustment is 
obtained. Operate the machine slowly by hand before apply- 
ing the power. 






Gas-Heated Crucible 

To obtain best results with a gas-heated crucible, be sure 
that the supply line is large enough so there will be no drop 
in gas pressure if the burners are turned on suddenly to their 
maximum capacity. Wherever possible, the Ludlow crucible 
should be connected to a supply line that has a pressure 
regulator. 

There are two burners in the gas crucible: a Mouthpiece 
Burner (which is located under the throat and mouthpiece) 
and the Main or Base Burner directly under the crucible. 

The gas thermostat on the Ludlow crucible should, when 
it is properly set, maintain the temperature of the metal in the 
crucible from 550° to 565° F. 

In some localities, the quality of the gas is such that after 
burners have been in use for some time they may become 
clogged. If air pressure is available near the machine, it is a 
good plan to blow out the burners and mixing valves every 
few weeks. Bellows may also be used for this purpose. 

Do not place the machine in such a position that it will be 
subjected to severe drafts of air, as this will cause sudden 
variation of temperature in the crucible, due to the blowing 
of the flames. 

Electric-Heated Crucible 

The Ludlow Electric Crucible is so constructed and wired 
that the terminals, switches, circuit breakers, etc. are readily 
accessible. 

All terminals and wires are plainly marked and corres- 
pond to the markings as shown in the wiring diagram. 

The main feed wires enter the bottom of the control panel 
and are connected to the terminals as shown. 

From the main hand switch, the wiring is divided into four 
circuits, as follows: 

Crucible Heater Circuit 
Thermostat Circuit 



15 



v 






Throat and Mouth Heater Circuit 

Motor Circuit 
These circuits are illustrated in separate colors on the wiring 
diagram for convenient tracing. 

Machine Must be Grounded 

All tests are based on the supposition that the machine is 
grounded. In most cases the machine is grounded by the line 
wire conduit. In case an adequate ground is not so established, 
it will be necessary to connect a No. 10 wire between the 
frame of the machine and a water pipe, or some other safe 
means of transmission to the ground. 

Test Lamp 

A Test Lamp, A932A, may be used for locating most 
electrical trouble in the crucible. 




Test Lamp, A932A 

How to Use Test Lamp 

The test lamp may be used to locate a "ground," an "open 
circuit," or a "dead" heating element. An explanation of 
terms follows: 

Open Circuit 

An incomplete circuit, one broken at any point, so that 
current does not flow through any part of it. A broken wire or 
loose connection can cause an open circuit. 

16 



Dead Heater 

A heater that has an open circuit. 






Ground 

An electrical connection between an electrical circuit and 
the crucible or frame of the machine. 

Short Circuit 

A connection between the two sides of a circuit so that the 
current takes a shorter path than is intended. 

Preliminary Tracing of Electrical Trouble 

All circuits are protected by circuit breakers. In case of 
ground or short, circuit breaker goes automatically to "off" 
position. When trouble is corrected, switch circuit breaker to 
"on" position. Other indications of electrical trouble will be 
variations of temperature of the type metal in the crucible 
or at the mouthpiece, or stopping of machine. Variations of 
temperature have to do with the crucible, throat or mouth- 
piece heaters or circuits. Stopping of the motor is confined 
to the motor circuit. 

Control Panel Test 

With test lamp short-circuited, place test points on power 
terminals. If the current reaches these terminals, the lamp 
will light. If the lamp does not light, test the main cut-out 
fuses. 

Open Circuit Test 

Turn on the panel hand switch and, with test lamp short- 
circuited, make the same test on terminals of each circuit. 
This test should light the lamp. 

If the above tests fail to light the lamp, the failure may be 
due to a broken wire, loose connection, a defective hand 
switch or a faulty unit, which must be corrected.

Ground Test 

With the panel switch turned off, remove the lead wires 
from all terminals and with the test lamp connected to a 
lighting circuit touch each of the terminals in the control 
panel with the live point of the test lamp. If a light shows, it 
indicates a ground which must be corrected. 



Short Circuit Test 

If the metal in the crucible fails to melt out, or if the 
mouthpiece freezes and there is no indication of either an 
open circuit or a ground, check the circuit breakers. If in 
"on" position, turn to "off" position and check the wires as 
well as each of the heating units for a short circuit. The test 
lamp described above cannot be used successfully for all short 
circuit tests. An ordinary light bulb test should be made on 
the terminals of the heating units. A dim light indicates there 
is no short circuit. A bright light indicates a short circuit. 

Motor Circuit Test 

If the motor fails to start, slows down, stops, or overheats, 
it is an indication of trouble in the motor or motor circuit. 
Before making any tests, remove the belt and see if the trou- 
ble persists. If motor runs satisfactorily with the belt removed, 
then look for mechanical trouble in the machine. If motor 
fails to operate with belt removed, check motor circuit as 
outlined above. 












Crucible Thermostat Adjustment 

Insert hot metal thermometer near the mercury bulb in the 
crucible metal and allow sufficient time for the thermometer 
reading to reach the temperature of the metal. Open back of 
thermostat. Loosen set screw and turn "stem" with wrench 
supplied with thermostat until the indicating hand corre- 
sponds with the temperature shown by the thermometer and 
then tighten the set screw. 

Mouthpiece Thermostat Adjustment 

To calibrate the mouthpiece thermostat: 

Set crucible temperature 550°. 

Turn off current for the mouthpiece and throat units at 
circuit breaker. 

Heat from the crucible will also heat the throat and mouth- 
piece. Allow 30 minutes for heat to equalize. There will be 
some heat lost, so that when the temperature of the metal in 
the crucible is 550° the temperature at the bulb of the mouth- 
piece thermostat will be approximately 450°. 

If the mouthpiece thermostat does not read 450°, then 
loosen set screw and turn stem until the indicating hand is at 
450° and tighten set screw. Turn on current at circuit 
breaker. 

This method of calibrating the mouthpiece thermostat will 
result in metal temperatures within 10° plus or minus. A more 
accurate adjustment is possible by using a surface thermome- 
ter at the mouthpiece, although this is not regarded as 
essential, since the heat at the mouthpiece and throat of 
crucible will depend upon local conditions.
